Hello and thanks for stopping by! For 15 years I have had the honor to work for some amazing technology companies with corporate heart and startup soul. Through these companies I have experienced a diverse cross section of the mobile ecosystem. I have developed products at all levels of the mobile software stack. Most importantly, I've had the opportunity to shape and develop technology products and solutions that solve consumer needs; to make life easier and reduce the friction between human and machine for millions of users.
I started my journey in Toronto, Canada after undergrad working for Bell Mobility. I was hired 5 months into a year internship that turned into 4 years of working on every facet of wireless telecom... billing systems, dialing rules, voicemail, e-911, SMS/MMS services, apps, mobile streaming video and the conversion from 2.5G to 3G networks.
My next stop was mSpot, a mobile music and video streaming startup in Silicon Valley. I was drawn to them by their exceptionally talented founders and engineering team. There was a lot of synergy between my ideas and their ability to bring them to life. They were growing their team and needed to add an agile and creative product management lead, I wanted to move to the U.S., we met in the middle and I became their 14th employee. After building out their content management system and an official reporting function I was ready for my next adventure...
Here I am now at Samsung, where I have been for over half of my career. Samsung is the epitome of corporate heart and startup soul... the perks and bennies of a big company with the agility of startup. I was hired to kick start their first mobile video content service, Media Hub. I later joined their Galaxy smartphone product marketing "team" as employee number two (before the Note was Note). Fast forward 8 years and a year stint kick starting Samsung's Data Science team, I manage a team of 5 product marketers. My team of amazingly talented product marketers and I own the entire smartphone portfolio which includes the familiar Galaxy S and Note series, and also the recently introduced Galaxy Fold and Galaxy A series (targeting the value driven consumer).
